    Max is closer to a 5th championship than Lando on his first.
    When McLaren rolled out the red carpet after Landos first win, it’s been rather obvious who they want to win the championship. I hope Piastri has learned enough to give Lando a run for his money and not let McLaren choose that they’ll try to lift Lando yet again.

      Even his driving skills aren't.
      He for sure is fast and can drive those cars as well as everyone else, but his racecraft too tentative, he never tries something different, it's always a DRS pass. That's why Max has his number. If he isn't much faster, like in Zandvoort, he'll always struggle to overtake Max. It's almost as if he's a video game bot always doing the same thing until it works.
      And what about his starts? 7 races starting from pole and losing the lead on lap 1.
      And in Silverstone, when Hamilton and Max went for tyres, he took an extra lap and asked for "any slick tyre", only to fold at the final laps because the tyre was not the best for the car.
      So, yeah, Norris still leaves a lot to be desired next to the very best.

    Norris is not Hamilton, Oscar is not Bottas either but arguably Andrea Stella is not a Christian Horner.

I am not sure it's really strongly correlated but I think the team principle has more influence on driver development than we thought.

    This is Norris's best year and may be the one that defines him as the driver he'll be known for.
    And all i can say about it is that he is largely incompetent. I never saw a driver with a car as good as that waste so many opportunities to win a race. When he actually has a good start somehow he finds a way, like in Monza.
    He won 3 races, the same as Leclerc and one more than Hamilton, who had 2 shots at a win the whole year (Russell's win was due to the leaders crashing ahead, so it doesn't count).
    For someone who took numerous shots at Hamilton and Vettel in the past, he's turning out to be a complete joke of a contender.

Perhaps if McLaren can drop a car that's much faster than the competition next year, his current skill level will carry him to an overall victory.. otherwise Lando has some work to do to beat the consistency of MV.

If Pérez helps max who isn’t nearly on the same lvl it’s that max is getting all the favour from Red Bull

      @ Lando hasn’t lost anywhere near 100 points due to his starts, not sure where you are getting that figure from. If you look at Baku for example, Norris started from 17th only because of a yellow flag on his qualifying lap. That was entirely avoidable, Baku is a narrow street circuit obviously there’s going to be an issue in qualifying and it’s going to be Q1 so why tell Norris to pit during Q1, it was just a bad call.
      If you look at race starts yeah Norris has left too much room going into the first corners of the race but also he pretty consistently gets positions back.

      @sleepyumi you can't do math then, pole in Spain to 2nd, that's 8 points, pole in Hungary to 2nd, another 8, pole in Italy to third is 10, pole in the USA to 4th that's 13 points, and pole in Brazil to 6th, another 17 points, 56 points he's gotten from 5 pole positions, where with the speed of the car he should've dominated like Singapore all of those times, I mean that would've been 26 points x 5 which would be 130 instead if 56, but no because he isn't ready.

      @ if you look at Hungry, he actually retook the lead of the race and was told by his team to drop back to second, if you look at Monza Oscar ran him wide in the second chicane that’s 18 points lost just to the team not ensuring the two drivers are giving each other space. USA could have only been third if McLaren told him to give the position back to Max, that’s three example already of where yeah Lando lost the pole, but the team made some big mistakes as well.

      @sleepyumi he retook the lead because they botched Oscar's strategy

    F1 fans wanted Norris to win because it is more fun to watch a race if there is competition.

    I was a fan of Lando but he has become like Russell in that he is entitled rich kid who thinks he deserves a championship because he’s a Britt.
